Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 26 Small Zhoutian

Han Tao is Ning Fengzhi's disciple and now receives a monthly stipend of 100 gold soul coins.

Moreover, as a Great Soul Master, the Spirit Hall provides a subsidy of 10 gold soul coins per month, so the cost of the Meridian Cleansing Pill doesn't seem expensive.

However, this only applies to Han Tao.

For a child as young as Han Tao, playing and enjoying life should be the main themes of his life.

For example, Ning Tian goes to the club for a foot massage twice a month, and Ning Fengzhi deducts his salary, so he really doesn't have much money left.

After purchasing nettle juice, red grapefruit, and a bottle of meridian-cleansing pills, Han Tao waited until the third class.

As expected, after all the groundwork laid in the previous training, the teacher didn't hold back in the third lesson and began teaching the advanced meditation method of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"I imagine you've learned basic meditation techniques in various cities. These techniques should have taught you how to use your mental energy to manipulate your soul power."

"Now I will recite the incantation. You should guide your spiritual power and begin to circulate your soul power along the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin."

"Control your breathing, feel the rise and fall of your breath and the convergence of your meridians."

Applying nettle juice to the joints along the meridians, Han Tao, guided by his academy teachers, channeled his soul power through the twelve meridians.

Every meridian is connected to a part of the internal organs.

When soul power circulates properly, it not only strengthens the soul power itself, but also tempers the soul master's internal organs to a certain extent.

The strength of his internal organs has always been Han Tao's weakness. Previously, when Han Tao felt Xiao Yuan's gravity pressure, he was mostly limited by the strength of his internal organs and could not hold on for too long, so he had to stop.

At this moment, the emergence of the Heavenly Battle Meditation Method undoubtedly fills this gap.

Moderate and peaceful, but slow.

The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Battle Meditation Method is only half that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Meditation Method, or even less.

The medicinal power of the Cleansing Pulse Pill spreads throughout the body via the stomach. Under the control of mental power, the majority of the medicinal power is guided to the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, where it begins to dissolve impurities in the main meridian.

These impurities can clog the meridians and affect the cultivation speed of a Soul Master.

The meditation method of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School follows the path of subtle meridians, which can also be blocked by impurities.

However, it has little impact on cultivation speed because there are enough tiny meridians in a Soul Master's body. Even if one meridian is blocked, there are still plenty of other meridians that can circulate.

The medicinal power of Ximai Dan can be applied to a local area to powerfully open up a certain one of the twelve regular meridians. Similarly, the medicinal power can also spread to the whole body to open up all the tiny meridians in the whole body.

But the latter requires you to be rich enough.

For most Soul Masters, the latter is a meaningless choice.

Not only would it cost a lot of money, but the returns would also be minimal, so I wouldn't do such a thing.

Of course, this doesn't apply if you have OCD or aren't interested in money.

"Your Highness, here is a letter from you."

Inside the Crown Prince's palace, a eunuch reported in a shrill voice.

The letter was signed by his junior apprentice, Han Tao.

Xue Qinghe frowned slightly; he had a very bad impression of this junior brother from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Relying on the "Crown Prince's Token," he repeatedly sneaked into the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and even caused a scandal of favoritism.

"Hmph! I'd like to see what he has to say in his defense!"

I casually tore open the letter; it contained only a short sentence.

"This incident was orchestrated by His Highness Avalanche." His pupils suddenly contracted.

Then, he turned to the eunuch beside him, asking with a smile, but with a hint of malice in his eyes.

"Has this letter been seen by anyone else?"

The eunuch answered smoothly, "No, this old minister can guarantee with his life that no one else has seen this letter since it came into my hands." Seeing the old eunuch's statement, Xue Qinghe was finally satisfied.

"You did a great job this time. Go to the finance department to collect your reward, third class."

The degree of reward is related to merit, and based on his own reward, he can judge the value of the letter's contents.

It's somewhat useful, but not very useful.

"Second brother, I underestimated you."

Xue Qinghe sat on the prince's chair, his gaze fixed on the windowsill, his thoughts traversing mountains and rivers to find the true recipient of this letter.

It could be Han Tao, or it could be an avalanche.

Why did Han Tao come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

"Could it be that he's looking for an opportunity to break through to level 19?"

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but smile, a certain arrogance rising within him.

What you cannot obtain, I possess by nature; the exhilaration of this is indescribable.

In his joy, he forgot to pursue Han Tao's mistake.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

To create a meditation method, you first need to have a sufficient amount of knowledge.

Studying at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy did not directly increase Han Tao's combat power, nor did it increase his cultivation speed.

However, this is an improvement in foundation, a deeper understanding of the relationship between martial spirit, soul power, and physique by the soul master.

After seven months of practice and cultivation, Han Tao mastered the Heavenly Battle Meditation Method and, with the aid of various medicinal herbs, opened up all twelve meridians in his body.

The twelve meridians are connected to the internal organs. Through cultivation, they can enhance the strength of a Soul Master's internal organs and make up for any shortcomings caused by training.

The eight extraordinary meridians connect to the seven orifices, which not only coordinate the flow of soul power in the twelve regular meridians, but also enhance the five-dimensional perception of the soul master.

A young man in black, with delicate features and a calm expression.

"This is a skill that allows you to AFK (away from keyboard)." Han Tao was extremely surprised.

The soul power circulates through the twelve meridians, forming a natural microcosmic orbit. With each rotation, the soul power increases by one unit.

The completion of the twelve primary meridians signifies the attainment of the microcosmic orbit.

The flow of soul power follows the circulatory cycle, which represents the entire meditation process, making it a continuously circulating whole.

By simply diverting a portion of one's mind, one can control one's soul power and meditate continuously.

"This is a bit outrageous, no way, let's take another look."

Thinking this way, a question arose in Han Tao's mind.

"Does Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, know about the compatibility between distraction control and Heavenly Battle Meditation?"

"He might know, no, he definitely knows!"

Han Tao quickly came to a conclusion.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there are internal members who teach distraction control and external members who do not. Among the internal members, there are core members who are proficient in distraction control and novices who cannot learn it.

Ning Fengzhi used every means to introduce the core members to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for their studies.

These sect members will either rely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's meditation method to make a living, or they will relearn the Heavenly Battle Meditation Method, leading to two completely different futures.

Han Tao, with the intention of creating a meditation method, accidentally learned the Tiandou Meditation Method.

After mastering the Small Heavenly Circuit, Han Tao's soul power steadily increased, but creating a cultivation technique was still a long way off.
